One of the great privileges of a re- cent tour was the meeting with Mr. John Flynn Cunning, Oakwood, Vic- toria county, who, on June 14th last, celebrated his one hundredth birth day. For gome sixty-eight years he has been a resident of - Mariposa township, which is known far and wide because of the work of the late Mr. Henry Glenndinning, the 'father This "Grand Old Man of Mariposa," Mr. Cunning, is like Zacchaeus, small of stature, yet he is one of the world's big men, as {Lot me but find it in my heart to was quite evident during an inter- view granted the writer upon the oc- casion of a recent visit to his com- fortable home, Born in London, England, on June 14th, 1826, he came 'to Canada in 1858, with his wife, and a family of five children. Believing in a Supreme Being who guides the destinies of men, and praying that his steps might be directed of the Lord, he came to Oakwood, to make his home, and has subsequently resided there continuously, confident that it was the spot appointed for him. At the first, the village did not exist, and he has watched it (and the settle- ment round about) grow, until it is as prosperous a section as one would care to find. In the homeland, educational ad- vantages were meagre, yet he im- proved his opportunity, until, at the age of fourteen, he was obliged to absent himself from the school-room, in order to earn his own living. He was an inveterate reader, and resolv. ed to devote a few minutes each day to the improvement of his mind, the result being, that he is--to a large extent--a self-educated man with an intelligent grasp, not only of the questions which engrossed the at- 'tention of politicians of an earlier age, but also those that confront the minds of the statesmen of the world to-day. He believes that the oceu- pant of a high position should be one fit for the job, He is a typical English gentleman, and, when younger, engaged in tall. oring, also conducting the post office from time out of mind. With sa twinkle in his eye, he informs one | that he' can yet make out a money order, or make your will as well as any one else. * He has ever enjoyed the confidence of his community, being for thirty. five years clerk of the township of Mariposa, and for forty-nine years clerk of the Division court. It was his fertile brain which conceived the idea of a voter's list, and he compil- ed, for his township, the first voter's list ever published in Canada, re- quests for copies of the same com-| ing in from many municipalities. The late Sir Oliver Mowat counted this venerable gentleman among his friends, 38d has been entertained in! his home at Oakwood. - One cannot | but notice a striking resemblance which Mr, Cunning bears, to photos of the eminent politician, and indeed One was often mistaken for the ether. Bir Oliver used to remark that he did not know which man should feel the more highly complimented. Sir Wil- Mulock, and the Hon. George | Brown were also distinguished | friends of the subject of this sketch, who was, indeed, offered an import. ant government position, it hé would take up his residence in the Provime- fal Capital. Such honors were po-| litely declined, as he believed it to be in the best interests of his fam. ily to be reared in the rural districts, instead of in the urban centres.
